Should Category:Alert be changed like this as well, so we can distinguish new alerts from old ones? Done: one can change the "Nonfree" template field to "completed".

Make sure that the Bug_report pages and Review pages have links that are easily accessible by contributors.

For pages in Category:Review, we should have a link to create the relevant page (such as Review:xprog -> xprog) with Form:Entry if it doesn't already exist. We would need to use regular expressions to cut of the "-REV-ID-1" stuff. (or we could just set the proper pagename value as a property when Form:Submit is called.)

Rename the "Editor" property to "Editing", etc. (because the "Use" property is its parent, and its related value is "Editing", not "Editor". There are multiple instances of this dual naming.)

Verify that '-'s have replaced spaces in all properties and their values.

Make sure that program names submitted through Form:Submit don't have leading or trailing spaces.

proprietary program search

When a person searches for a proprietary program, a list of free software replacements for that program should appear in the search results, *however*, the proprietary program and its name should not appear anywhere on the wiki. To achieve this functionality, we may want to use the Enhanced Retrieval extension.

License verification

When doing license verification, we need to ensure two things:

More than one person checks a license

We have a system in place for training volunteers (via some sort of mentorship) on how to properly check a project's license.

Point system and mentoring

Some ideas we have discussed is that we might have some sort of scoring system, so that more experienced individuals who check a license have more "points" than people less experienced. Let's say we have three tiers: level-1, level-2, level-3; with level-1 being the most experienced. A check by a level-1 person might be worth 15 points, a level-2 might be worth 10 points, and a check by a level-3 person might be worth 5 points. It might be that a license is properly "checked" if it has a score of at least 25 points. To coordinate this work we might consider using an extension such as Semantic Tasks.

But, more important than the point system is ensuring that level-3 individuals are not only verified by level-1 individuals, but, that some 1-on-1 guidance and help/mentoring is provided to level-3 individuals from level-1 individuals.
